Faction change

Currently, Sparta, the Armory is experiencing issues preventing some players from viewing profiles. That said, to answer your question, gear is not “lost” as a result of Faction Changes. While it is true that some items, particularly from the Crusader’s Coliseum are faction/race specific, they are simply swapped for their counterpart on the other side of the fence. In this way, you do not “lose” any gear, it simply switches to its equivalent. The stats remain unchanged, but the model and name may be altered.

For more information on how to tell if an item will be swapped, check out our Faction Change item explanation here:
